Open Top Cradle for GoPro Hero 4

myminifactory

This so far is the most complex thing I have designed from scratch.I had a need which was that Most GoPro mounts have a door or screw you have to open or undo to get the camera out, this usually means disassembling the rig entirely just to get the footage or replace the battery. This solves that problem (I was inspired by Devin from Make Anything who did a similar project for an older GoPro). Not having a top or door means the GoPro can just be lifted out of the rig and easily placed back in at will! And the best part is if you have a permanent rig set up on your 3D printer for time lapses, your shots will always look the same! This rig also keeps the back open to allow access to the screen on the hero 4 silver model and the side open to allow access to the micro SD card and for the camera to be plugged in without removing it. I'm really proud of this and if you make one I would really appreciate it if you posted a picture in the "I made one tab!"
